About the Journal

The Journal of Health and Translational Medicine (JUMMEC) was founded in 1996. When JUMMEC (abbreviated for "Journal of University of Malaya Medical Centre") was first conceived, it was only publishing research findings that had been conducted in University of Malaya Medical Centre. Over the next few years, this journal grew in function and rapidly became popular amongst the local universities. It was not long thereafter that this journal began to gain interest by the global research community. In 2012, it was decided that a change in the journal name had to be made in order to reflect the international participations to this journal. However, we have never deviated from our primary aim, which is to facilitate the exchange of ideas, techniques and information among all members of the medical health practitioners and scientists alike.

Topics covered include: All aspect of medicine, medical systems and management; surgical and medicinal procedures; epidemiological studies; surgery and procedures (of all tissues); resuscitation; biomechanics; rehabilitation; basic science of local and systemic response related to the medical sciences; fundamental research of all types provided it is related to medical sciences; cell, proteins and gene related research; all branches of medicine which may include (but not limited to) anaesthesia, radiology, surgery, orthopaedics, ortholaryngiology etc. Regular features include: original research papers; review articles and case reports.

Letters that comment on an article previously published in JUMMEC are particularly encouraged, and the authors will be given the opportunity to respond. Please submit letters to the editor by e-mail where possible to email: jummec@um.edu.my

This effort is part of our commitment to ensure that JUMMEC is readily available and can be accessible to the public freely, quickly and with little or no restrictions. This decision is also in line with our policy to help save the environment by reducing the number of papers used to produce printed articles.

2024: Malaysian Congress of Radiology (MCOR 2024)

We stand at the crossroads of medical progress, where the intricate tapestry of tradition intertwines seamlessly with the boundless realms of innovation. The Malaysian Congress of Radiology 2024, held from 26-28th July 2024 in the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur, serves as a beacon for the convergence of foundational knowledge and cutting-edge advancements in the field of radiology.

Within the pages of this abstract book, we present the culmination of intellectual pursuit and scientific rigor, showcasing the abstracts carefully curated from a pool of brilliant minds. The theme of "Beyond The Report: Interplay of Language and Radiology" encapsulates the essence of this congress, as radiologists, radiology trainees, and allied health professionals come together to explore the harmonious interplay between timehonoured practices and pioneering technologies.

I commend the dedication and expertise of all those who have contributed to this abstract book. May it inspire fruitful discussions, ignite fresh insights, and foster collaborations that will shape the future of radiology, ensuring the highest standards of patient care and medical excellence.
